BRANDENTON, Fla. – Betty Lynn (Chadwick/Seward) Venner, 75, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away peacefully on Aug. 23, 2023, at Tidewell Hospice-Bradenton with her family by her side.

Betty was born to parents Donald Leon and Laura “Lucile” Chadwick on Sept. 30, 1947, in Keokuk.

Betty cherished growing up along the banks of the Mississippi River and fishing with her father for walleye and collecting driftwood and geodes. Later in life, she spent time on many hobbies including ceramics, beading, baking, and clogging. She was a very spiritual person who enjoyed being surrounded by nature and saving animals in need.

Betty also was very proud of her employment as a medical administrator with Manatee Obstetrics and Gynecology in Bradenton where she worked for many years.

The holidays were also important times for her, working hard to make them memorable for her grandchildren; as a matter of fact, many of the anecdotes and stories from her grandchildren prior to her passing revolved around their fond memories of Christmas and Easters where Betty (Meemaw or Granny) creatively made the experience of opening gifts better than the presents themselves.

Betty is survived by her two children (from a previous marriage) and their spouses: Jeffrey Seward of Bradenton, Florida (Theresa), and Lori Seward Scott of Bradenton (John). She is survived by five grandchildren: Zachary of Bradenton, Jordan of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Tyler of Bradenton, Courtney of Las Vegas, Nevada, Noah of Bradenton, and two great-grandchildren, Shiloh Rae and Luca Dean. She is also survived by her sister Donna Chadwick Goemaat of Pella, Iowa (Murray).

She was preceded in death by her husband Gilbert Venner.

Betty (Mom, Meemaw, Granny, Sister) will be missed as she is loved by all.

She will be interred with her late husband, Gilbert, at the National Cemetery in Sarasota, Florida, later this fall.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Tidewell Hospice-Bradenton, or a charity of choice.
